Verdict
Only Sedgefield runner-up Isaac Wonder of these has run over fences before so the market will likely be a good guide to the prospects of others, though Peterborough did win a point-to-point early in 2017 and won over hurdles at Exeter in November of last year. Stephanie Sunshine is 0-11 in bumpers and hurdles while Twasn't The Plan looks very one-paced. New Agenda and Supakalanistic are winners over timber, however, though this looks much too short for the latter. WENCESLAUS hasn’t raced since February but has his ground and is receiving weight all round. He could go close if taking to the larger obstacles.
